Marshall Curry hat mich im Interview unglaublich beeindruckt. Mit seinem ersten Dokumentarfilm „Street Fight” wurde er direkt für den Dokumentarfilm-Oscar nominiert und gewann verschiedene Filmfestival-Preise. Damit hatte er, wie er erzählt, selbst nicht gerechnet. Ich habe ihn deshalb gefragt, ob man immer den Mut haben sollte die eigenen Träume zu verwirklichen? Seine Antwort darauf zeigt, was diesen Ausnahmeregisseur antreibt und ausmacht: „Definitely it’s not to say that you become a huge success (...) I think I was pretty realistic about it. My expectation was I wanna go through the process of shooting and editing a movie. It doesn’t even matter so much at the end of the movie if it turns out well, but I hope that in this process I will discover, number one, whether I like it cause you know there are a lot of things you think you would like, but actually when you start doing them day to day you don’t (...) At the end of the process I wanted to find out whether I liked it or whether it was something I was good at, if I had a sense of it. But I was fully prepared to discover ‘yes, I really love it – the movie is not good, but I really love it and I’m gonna keep working at it until I get better’. I was also fully prepared to say ‘you know I did this thing, I didn’t really like it, now I’m gonna be an internet designer or a musician or teacher or a hundred other things’. But I’ll tell you I’m not gonna be 90 and say ‘too bad I didn’t try to make a movie’. That’s the thing that drives me most of all – the fear of being old at the end of the run looking back and saying too bad I didn’t try it.“ Vielleicht ist es also auch für uns doch noch nicht zu spät, Astronaut oder Pferdeflüsterin zu werden.
